¹⁶ For who ^(A)provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, ^(B)did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(C)whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did He swear ^(D)that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were ^(E)disobedient? ¹⁹ And so we see that they were not able to enter because of ^(F)unbelief.

although His works were finished ^(J)from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For He has said ^(K)somewhere concerning the seventh day: “^(L)And God ^(M)rested on the seventh day from all His works”; ⁵ and again in this passage, “^(N)They certainly shall not enter My rest.” ⁶ Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who previously had good news preached to them failed to enter because of ^(O)disobedience, ⁷ He again sets a certain day, “Today,” saying ^[c]through David after so long a time just ^(P)as has been said before,
